Hugo's Restaurant in

First off I have to say I am really glad i booked this restaurant for the last night of my stay at druids glen as it was a special experience. First off service was excellent everything you would expect from a 2 AA Rosette experience. Friendly staff, tables set up as you would expect right down to changing the cutlary out for fish specific cutlary nice touches. Quality of food again everything one would expect from a Double AA Rosette in terms of quality, freshness and localness of ingrediants in the main. There were even curious items like my starter which was squid croquettes with blue cheese. Two things you wouldnt necessarily put together in same sentence but surprisingly worked. Similarly with the squash ravoli and monkfish dish again i would have naturally assumed the squash would be to sweet but it worked. Other guests dishes also excellent. Desserts were tasty although I would have thought rum baba might have been more syrupy based on previous I have had. Wine selection excellent and the desert wine a curious but enjoyable drop. One minor quibble which i found hard to figure was how some tables got a small dish of petit fuors whilst waiting to pay bill but i didnt and also another table got a pallate clenser sorbet before starting there meal. This was slightly confusing, was there a specific price treshold one needed to spend to get such perks because there seemed to be no such set rule. Overall a very nice special experience, everything you would expect and priced right not withstanding the confusing scenario with petit fuors and pallate clenser.

We enjoyed one evening meal here, during our stay, just as an extra treat. Service throughout was very good. I found the starter portion quite small (white asparagus), but the main was great. Overall, it was a lovely experience, but an expensive treat.
